Tortellier is widely used, giving V. a more gentle position, it facilitates the playing technique and, to a certain extent, contributes to a better sounding instrument. The first solo works for V. appear in Bologna at the end of the 17th century. (sonatas for V. with bass and ricercars for V. solo J. Gabrieli). V. early begins to be involved in the performance of trio sonatas (J. Torelli, A. Corelli) and Concerti grossi (A. Corelli). The first examples of V.'s use in the concert genre are presented by Concerti per camera by J. Yakkini (1701) and 6 solo concerts by L. Leo (1737-38).
